IB Diploma Programme Admissions

WVSS welcomes students currently in grade 10 at WVSS or students from any other school or catchment area to apply for admission to the Diploma Programme. Students who are currently in the full Pre-Diploma Programme do not have to apply for admission. Students in a regular or partial PDP Programme at WVSS are required to apply.

The IB Coordinator will screen all students applying for the IB Diploma Programme. Students are assessed on academic potential and motivation. Strong grades (minimum 80%) are recommended; however, evaluation is holistic.

Students are required to write a critical thinking test and submit the following at the testing session: 1.IB Diploma Programme Admission Application for students coming from another school --> click here

Students currently attending WVSS who are not taking Pre-Diploma courses and wish to take up to three IB courses must write the critical thinking test. Results on the critical thinking test and students’ grades will be used for evaluation.

Students new to WVSS in grade 11 who are interested in taking a partial IB Programme will need to contact our registrar, Ina Saint-Pierre to schedule an appointment for registration. Please note that you should complete online registration (http://www.sd45.bc.ca/about/how-to-register.html) before you contact her. You will need to bring evidence of residence (a phone bill, rental agreement etc.) and a birth date document. These students are required to write the critical thinking test and submit a current report card when they write the critical thinking test but an IB Diploma Programme Admission Application is not required. First priority is given to Diploma students in courses.
